Taken For Granted
summary
Chronological tour of how Swift actually changes from its secret Apple beginnings to open source showing exact edits not slogans including 327 days before WWDC and concrete shifts like optionals and enum associated values replacing nil-as-NSObject and union types, syntax renames, and added APIs. Timeline notes surprising counts of days and tiny edits that matter, shows when map filter reduce appear, when ABI stability and open-sourcing land, and points to outstanding work on concurrency regex and ownership.
